Reds and O's Rubber Match (6-12-05)

[Cedric]

This isn't little league. If you are on the 25 man roster you have to play in tight games. Kelly is a much better fielder and he has more speed, easy choice seemingly.

Ok, you think it's a good move. I don't.

I must say I've been eating some crow about Lopez....I honestly didn't think the guy could play.

This year he has thankfully proven me very wrong

[Reds Fanatic]

Randa grounds out to short. 7-4 Reds after 6.

Replacing a slow, poor fielder with a speedy much better fielder when he's on second with no outs with a 2 run lead is very good baseball. You may as well get the speed into the game in a situation when you might need it, because you wanted the better fielder in anyway.

What's not to like?

[Reds Fanatic]

Gil grounds out to short. 1 out.

[Reds Fanatic]

Gibbons pinch hitting for Ponson.

[Reds Fanatic]

Gibbons grounds out to short. Good job by Casey digging the throw out of the dirt. 2 outs.

The season is over, submit to the Borg and watch the youngster fly.

That's not the part I don't like. It was having a rookie enter a close game as they're usually somewhat nervous; that being said, I didn't know he had played in the bigs before, so that makes me feel somewhat better.

I guess my biggest thing, and I know this probably sounds overly stupid, is just Miley. Seems like he thinks he always needs to get everyone in the game... Kenny is brand new, and he puts him in right away.

Don't know; just my feeling about DM.

[Reds Fanatic]

Roberts strikes out swinging. 7-4 Reds mid 7th.

TB:

I'm the same way. At this point if Miley walked on water it wouldn't please me.
